"The first thing you capture at that first listen to the song is Shawn’s nearly perfect and natural voice. And what’s more, is that Shawn has that songwriter’s mentality that knows exactly what not only compliments his voice musically but what music can surround that vocal prowess to become an all-encompassing self-made style that lets the listener in and welcomes them to the next experience of their life." - Jammerzine
"Shawn is a young singer with loads of potential." - ANR Factory

check_circleVerifiedI needed a vocal style somewhere between Chester Bennington and Charlie Puth, and Shawn was perfect for that. Shawn has an awesome voice and vocal skills.

check_circleVerified (Client)Shawn is a talented singer and songwriter and I had the privilege to record some cello tracks for one of his awesome original songs. It was a pleasure to work with him and I look forward to doing so again!
Shawn is definitely the person you want for your track. He has an incredible talent and he put my music to another level with his amazing vocals. I will definitely have him for future projects!
Shawn was a huge help to our company. We had a song that needed the proper session musician and luckily a mutual friend referred us. Within two days we had the vocals we had asked for and then some! Already in discussion to hire him for more projects in the future.
I recently played some bass for Shawn and he was a blast to collaborate with. Chill guy, and excellent producer. If he wants you to work with him you absolutely should.
